A challenge to empirical knowledge – ‘Community as curriculum’
‘The rhizomatic viewpoint (…) suggests that a distributed negotiation of knowledge can allow a community of people to legitimize the work they are doing among themselves and for
each member of the group, the rhizomatic model dispenses with the need for external validation of knowledge...’
- Dave Cormier (2008)

Honestly I found it quite helpful as I re-read what I had written and it helped
clarify my thoughts into what I actually wanted to say.
I didn't use it extensively but when I did […] it helped clear
my thought processes.

“Technological fluency means much more than the ability to use technological tools; that
would be equivalent to understanding a few common phrases in a language. To become
truly fluent in a language (like English or French), one must be able to articulate a
complex idea or tell an engaging story – that is, to be able to make things of significance with
these tools.”
The Computer Clubhouse: Technology Fluency in the Inner City: Resnick, Rusk, & Cooke (1998)

“Web2.0 tools exist that might allow academics to reflect and reimagine what they do as scholars. Such tools might positively affect - even transform - research, teaching, and service responsibilities – only if scholars choose to build serious academic lives online, presenting semi-public selves and becoming invested in and connected to the work of their peers and students.”(Greenhow, Robelia & Hughes, 2009)
